Games and XFCE, Bug? [SOLVED]

Post by Antid Oto »

Hi pals. When I play with some videogames (examples: Hedgewars, FreeDoom, some game by ScummVM) in fullscreen mode, the icons of desktop loses his original position, and then they group automatically. Do you have a similar issue with games and desktop icons on xfce?. Thanks for your comments.

You should change the resolution inside those games. If a game goes fullscreen and uses a resolution smaller than the one you're usually using, xfce needs to adapt to it by rearranging the icons.

Cool! Thanks. Your solution works well with any modern game of Salix repository as FreeDoom and others.

But ScummVM doesn't have options for custom resolution (It runs older DOS/WIN games with lower resolution _640x480 and others_. The emulator have scaling options _2x, 3x, HQ2x, HQ3x_ only. The fullscreen feature works with lower resolutions...grrr. However, I'll found a solution.)

I edited the title of the post as solved, thanks again. Greetings.
